I enjoyed the fun interactive Shuffle part and very quickly this identified at least two openings for our products which look full of potential. I will certainly be attending another LunchNet event.

Just thought I would take this opportunity to thank you and the Lunchnet organisation for a thoroughly enlightening network session. It was the first time my colleague or I had done the Lunchnet shuffle and we really enjoyed it and at the same time getting lots out of it.

In addition to that Rob Brown was both dynamic and informative, a networking star. A great personality that engaged everybody, motivating even the most sceptical.

Looking forward to the next one.

Wednesday's LunchNet event at the NCM was astounding. It was the first such event for me and provided more positive contacts in a couple of hours than I have had in the last couple of years.

If you were offered 50 real-life business introductions for less than £20, would you be interested? (That's 40p per introduction!)

If your answer is 'yes' then you need to take a look at Lunchnet. I have been working networking meetings for nearly 4 decades and frequently departing most of them with a measly 2 or 3 fairly uninteresting business cards after getting cornered for an hour and a half by some boring old bugger who wouldn't shut up. (Haven't we all?)

Lunchnet is very different and I have personally found it impressive and well-organised. It's a bit like speed-dating - where you will meet around a-business-a-minute on average, BUT it's done in such a manner that even the shyest person will feel comfortable. At the last Lunchnet meeting, I came away with 47 new business contacts, many of which have mutual business potential, and many of which I have already had business discussions with.

There's absolutely nowhere in the business world where you can obtain so many contacts for so little outlay. If you're fairly new to business, it's absolutely critical that you try Lunchnet at least once - but remember that most business cards are worth 'zilch' unless you're prepared to do a bit of relationship building after being given one.

I find the LunchNet formula highly effective for networking. I've been to 2 LunchNet meetings and will attend future meetings on a regular basis.

It is a highly effective way of meeting around 30 business people in short period of time. During the LunchNet meeting, each person moves between small groups and has the opportunity to introduce their business for a couple of minutes.

The result is that everyone has an opportunity to hear what others have to say and just as important, to hear what I have to say about my business. As a result of attending LunchNet, my contacts are growing and I've no doubt, there will be a positive impact on my business.

As a first timer I found the meeting thoroughly refreshing. It was wonderful to attend a networking event where you leave knowing that you have spoken to every single delegate.

I would like to say thank you for the excellent event at Nomads in Leeds. I thought the format was excellent and met most of the people there. I must also congratulate Nomads on the excellent venue.

On behalf of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, may I congratulate LunchNet on the excellent event held at the National Coalmining Museum on the 12th October 2005.

It is important that this kind of event, sponsored by the Chartered Institute of Marketing delivers 'learning' in a professional and interesting manner. LunchNet did just that, in fact the event delivered much, much more than expected by all the CIM members who attended. Rob Brown, the guest speaker was an inspiration to us all, progressively delivering tips and tricks about Networking, so attendees continuously gained confidence throughout the event, adding value to all concerned.

I hope that the CIM and LunchNet can work together to organise similar events throughout the UK.

I really enjoyed today's event and was particularly impressed with Rob Brown. I have been networking for at least four years and Rob is the most powerful and effective networker I have met.

Attending LunchNet events has helped us to meet other local companies. We have landed several contracts based on initial discussions with LunchNet attendees.
